Cleaning the filter of the Candy washing machine

The longevity and functionality of your Candy washing machine depend on maintaining it in good working order. Cleaning the filter on a regular basis is one easy but important task. This little part is crucial to the smooth operation of your machine.

The filter may clog with hair, lint, and other debris over time. If ignored, it may cause problems with drainage, offensive smells, and even harm to your washing machine.

This post will walk you through the process of cleaning the Candy washing machine’s filter correctly, preventing future issues and ensuring that your laundry routine goes without a hitch.

Cleaning instructions

Debris filters come in two varieties for washing machines: an inlet filler filter and a drain filter. First, it purges the water entering the machine from the water supply of any impurities (rust, sand, etc.). The second one keeps tiny objects out of the drain pump that might have been placed in the washing machine with the laundry.

The drain pump would stop working right away in the absence of a drain filter, and obstructions in the drain hose would develop.

There’s no need to hire a pro to clean the debris filter—you can do it yourself. Adhering closely to the instructions can help prevent a number of issues, from a filthy spill on the floor to the machine breaking down entirely.

The first query that comes up is: where in the Candy machine is the filter located? It is located at the bottom, in the left front corner of the case. A unique masking panel or hinged cover covers it, and a hatch is located right behind it. Once you’ve determined where the filter is, you must always take the following actions:

  1. To provide access to the place you need, move the machine and lift it slightly, if necessary. Remove the decorative panel or open the hatch cover. For this, it is convenient to use a wide knife or a flat screwdriver. The closing element is pulled out or moved to the side.
  2. In washing machines, only the drum is completely free of water. A small amount of liquid always remains in the system. When dismantling the filter, it will spill out, so place a container under the hole and cover the floor with a rag. If there is an emergency hose, remove it and drain the water.
  3. Remove the filters. To remove the inlet filter, simply unscrew the hose, the mesh can be cleaned without removing it, or carefully pulled out with tweezers. The drain filter is covered with a plug, it should be unscrewed. Unscrew the screw fasteners with a screwdriver and pull out the filter completely.
  4. Clean the filter. Remove large fractions of debris from the filter, rinse the mesh under running water. To prevent the sealing rubber from deforming, rinse with warm water, not hot.
  5. Using a flashlight, examine the hole from the filter and the pump. Clean the impeller from dirt and objects that have fallen into it. The impeller should rotate freely.
  6. Put the pump filter back in place, carefully assembling it and tightening all the screws.
  7. Check the operation of the machine by connecting it and starting the rinse mode. While the machine is running, carefully watch for leaks. If the machine is leaking, it means that something was installed incorrectly.
  8. Put the masking panel back in place or close the hatch cover. If the machine has been moving, move it to its original position.

How to clean?

There are times when using water alone is insufficient to clean the filter. This typically occurs when there hasn’t been a cleaning in a long time. How should a heavily soiled filter be handled?

In this instance, employ extra products. Add 20–50 g of baking soda and citric acid per liter of warm water. This kind of solution aids in mucus, scale, and rust removal. Allow the filter components to sit in it for no more than thirty minutes, then wipe with a sponge and wash with water. Use toothpaste or laundry soap to clean the plaque if it is not too big of an issue.

Rust removal solutions are a suitable substitute for soda and citric acid.

Step Description
1 Turn off the washing machine and unplug it from the power source.
2 Locate the filter, usually found at the bottom front of the machine, behind a small door or panel.
3 Place a towel or shallow container under the filter area to catch any water that may spill out.
4 Carefully unscrew the filter and remove it from the machine.
5 Clean the filter by removing any debris, lint, or hair. Rinse it under running water if necessary.
6 Inspect the filter housing for any remaining dirt or blockages and clean it if needed.
7 Reinsert the clean filter back into the machine and screw it in tightly.
8 Close the filter panel or door and plug the washing machine back in.

Maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your Candy washing machine depends on routinely cleaning the filter. By clearing out lint, debris, and other obstructions, you make sure the machine runs well and avoid possible problems that might require expensive repairs.

Although it is a quick and easy process, there are substantial advantages. A clean filter guarantees that your clothes are washed more successfully, enhances water drainage, and lowers the possibility of offensive smells.

Establish a routine of inspecting and cleaning the filter every few months or as needed, particularly if you hear strange noises coming from the wash cycle or see any issues with water drainage. Your washing machine can continue to operate effectively for many years by performing this easy maintenance task.

To keep your Candy washing machine operating efficiently, stop offensive odors, and save money on repairs, you must regularly clean the filter. You can make sure your machine runs smoothly, extend its life, and preserve the quality of your laundry by taking a few minutes to clean the filter.
